Firewalled

[madphil]

Hi Can someone please explain why I am often Firewalled on here??

Try seeding regardless of your TTD firewalled status. It's not that accurate.

See post #6 and #7 I made about the accuracy:

If after a few months of seeding you find no one can connect to you (you've uploaded zero bytes), consider getting a VPN that offers port forwarding. Configure that forwarded port in your bittorrent program. Some ISPs block all bittorrent traffic and you'll need a VPN to bypass that.

This thread has some VPNs known to work ok:

I was Firewalled last week then it went away after I stopped and re-started my Torrents. Then, yesterday, it happened again and still says as much but I seem to be able to download at this point and will hop my uploads continue as well.

So far, nothing to really worry too much about. :)
